NBA, MLB, Others Partner with Time on Digital Sports Network

Time is launching a new digital sports network with help from three of the "big four" professional sports leagues. The National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and Major League Baseball -- along with NASCAR and Campus Insiders -- have partnered with Time on 120 Sports, a live-streaming digital offering that will be available across all platforms and mobile devices.

120 Sports will not require authentication from users' pay-TV provider, and will feature original and hosted programming, including game footage, analysis, conversation and social commentary from the players, newsmakers as well as voices of the fans. The content will be delivered in two-minute segments. The digital network is expected to launch sometime this spring. 120 Sports will debut as free native applications for mobile and tablet devices, as well as the web at 120Sports.com and other distribution outlets. A premium content offering will be introduced next year.
